Do I love you?

Chapter 83

With Ross
After school

Ross:(in his room just sitting at the foot of his bed drinking)

Stormie:(walks into his room) Ross, how much did you drink?

Ross: Does it matter?

Stormie:(Sighs and takes his drink and the bottle away)

Ross: Hey!

Stormie: You can't drink your sorrows away Ross

Ross: Hey, there's always a time for everything and this is mine

Stormie: Ross you aren't even old enough

Ross: I don't care!

Stormie:(sighs) I know you're hurting and we all are

Ross: No you aren't mom. You didn't go through the heart break and live it, I did

Stormie: Ross but the way that you're acting, the way that your feeling is hurting us too. We care about you and we don't like seeing you so sad and hurt

Ross: Well it's to bad bc I am

Stormie: Ross, come on. Stop being this way

Ross: I can't mom

Stormie: And why can't you?

Ross:(looks at her) Bc this is the first time I ever felt like this. The first time I ever fell in love with so much passion. I was so happy and in love with that relationship and Laura and now.... it's all gone

Stormie: Oh sweetie I know it hurts you so much but I know that she loves you

Ross: If she did then why did she break up with me then?

Stormie: I don't know but I just know that she loved you

Ross: So? That's the past mom, she broke up with me remember, so there's nothing I can do to change her mind

Stormie: But--

Ross: LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Stormie:(sighs and walks out)

Ross:(cries remembering what he and Laura had together)

With Laura

L/B/J:(sitting on the couch doing their homework)

Becky: So.... Laura

Laura:(looks at her)

Becky: About Ross--

Laura: I don't want to talk about him please

Jen: But you should've seen him today. He was all sad and left at lunch all yelly and mad and violent

Laura: Violent?

Jen:(nods) You should've seen him

Becky: Bradley, Luke & Noah had to chase Ross for a mile

Laura: Oh

Jen: Laura don't you see? Ross misses you and the break up is tearing him apart

Laura: Well I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do

Becky: Yes you can. You can get back together with Ross

Laura:(Shakes her head) I'm doing this for him

Jen: But he's not happy for what you did for him

Laura: I'm sorry guys but there's not a chance that Ross & I are gonna be back together again anytime soon

Jen: But--

Laura: Guys enough. Enough talking about Ross please, let's just get this homework done

Becky & Jen:(sighs and remains silent doing their work)

Laura:(pretends to be doing her work and is actually thinking if she made the right decision or not) (sighs and does her work)

A few weeks has past and nothing is going great. Laura is not completely over Ross yet but she hasn't been crying her heart out so that's good.... I guess. Maia & Laura have some small talk but that's it really. They only talk once or twice a month and it's not good at all, as for Ross..... things are seriously bad for him. He's been drinking his frustrations away and it's not good at all. He'll mostly fall asleep from passing out of drinking to much. He's been more mad and tough etc. It's not good for the family either, they've been trying to get him to stop but it's just not working. Maia's been trying to talk to Ross recently but Ross barely went to school so she never get a chance to talk to him and it's been killing her.

Laura:(getting ready for school finally)

Ellen:(knocks on her door) Laura, can I come in?

Laura: Sure

Ellen:(walks in) Hey

Laura: Hey

Ellen: I just want to say good luck at school and please be careful

Laura: Careful?

Ellen: Stormie called me this morning and said that Ross will be going to school eventually today

Laura: Okay

Ellen: And I just want you to be careful so be close to Becky & Jen please

Laura: Okay mom

Ellen:(smiles and kisses her forehead) Just be careful please

Laura: Okay mom (smiles) Thanks for telling me

Ellen: No problem. Oh and breakfast is on the table and Becky & Jen will be picking you up soon

Laura: Okay mom

Ellen:(walks out shutting the door)

Laura:(takes a deep breathe putting her make up on and grabs her bag and walks down eating breakfast)

Maia:(walks down and eats breakfast)

Ellen:(sits down drinking her coffee looking at the two back and forth)

Maia:(gets a text and walks out)

Laura:(sighs)

Ellen: It's gonna be okay sweetie

Laura: She still hates me mom, after the sacrifice I gave her

Ellen: She's just a little edgy this morning bc she didn't see Ross at all for the past few weeks

Laura: Oh yeah, he's been ditching school

Ellen:(sighs) Yeah

Laura:(looks at her) I'm sorry I'm causing so much drama

Ellen: Oh don't say sorry sweetie, it's not your fault

Laura: I guess so...

Honk! Honk!

Ellen: That must be Jen & Becky, you better get to school

Laura: Yeah (grabs her bag and walks out getting in the car)

Jen & Becky: Hey Laur

Laura: Hey

Jen:(starts driving to school)

Becky: Excited to go back to school?

Laura:(takes a deep breathe) As ready as I'll ever be
